Predestined Marriage
Chapter 229: Get Vicky Out

Leonardo was annoyed by her question. He turned around, pinched her chin, and gave her a kiss. "Alright."

Summer was lost for words. She didn't ask him to kiss her!

Leonardo looked at Summer's astonished face with satisfaction. The corners of his lips curled up as he led her forward.

Warren and Tim were waiting for them.

"Mr. Emerson. Mrs. Emerson."

"Leonardo."

Summer nodded to Tim and greeted Warren. "Mr. Smith."

Warren gave her a relaxed smile and walked to Leonardo's side to tell him about the case.

"Due to the particularity of this case, Vicky can be sentenced to up to three years in prison," Warren said as he looked at Summer.

Summer lowered her head and looked at herself. "What's wrong?"

Before entering the court, Warren took out a piece of gauze from his briefcase and handed it to Leonardo. "Wrap it."

Of course, this was not for Leonardo, but for Summer.

Leonardo frowned. "No need."

Warren shrugged. "I know neither of you was injured. This lawsuit seems easy, but I've worked hard on it. So could you please cooperate?" Leonardo said coldly, "Boring."

He hadn't thought so much at first. Now he turned to look at Tim. "Tim, accompany Mrs. Emerson back into the car."

"Okay," Tim respectfully replied.

"Then I'll wait for you in the car." Summer understood Leonardo's intention and did not ask any further.

They had prosecuted Vicky for intentional assault. Though Summer could appear in court unharmed, it might cause unnecessary troubles.

Moreover, Warren was rigorous with his work, so he couldn't let Summer appear in court without a single injury.

Summer's best choice was not to enter the court.

But it was not what concerned Leonardo. The Jarretts were also present today. He was worried that the Jarretts would lose control and hurt Summer.

He didn't dare to relax a bit since what Vicky did to Summer last time.

This was also the reason why he didn't allow other people to enter the villa.

He wanted to put an end to all things that might hurt Summer.

Summer walked toward the car with Tim. Halfway through, she suddenly turned to take a look at Leonardo.

Leonardo was tall and slender. Even though he was so far away, she could still feel his imposing aura.

Apart from his odd temper, Leonardo was a perfect man.

Summer sometimes felt as if she was dreaming. She had a feeling that she was not living in reality.

"Mrs. Emerson?"

Summer regained her senses as Tim's voice came. She realized that she had been staring blankly at Leonardo.

"Let's go." She came back to her senses and went back to the car with Tim.

Inside the car, Summer looked at the entrance of the court and asked Tim, "Will Vicky be sentenced?"

"Yes, Mr. Smith has never failed." Tim's tone was very certain.

Summer leaned back and took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Jessica about this matter.

Jessica immediately replied, "What goes around comes around!"

Yes, that's a constant rule.

Those with sins would be punished.

She thought of Leonardo's mother again. After so many years, she felt it too difficult to replace the real culprit.

Moreover, Leonardo said that the real culprit might be "someone inside the Emerson family". Even if he found the real culprit, would he suffer even more at that time? Summer found her thoughts wandered a lot lately. It was probably due to pregnancy.

She looked up and saw Tim looking at his phone.

Summer quietly approached and discovered that Tim was looking at a photo of a woman and a child.

Summer asked in surprise, "Are you married?"

Tim covered his phone in a hurry. "Yes."

"Your son is cute. How old is he?" Summer knew nothing about his personal life. She asked simply because she thought his son was cute.

A smile appeared on Tim's face as he mentioned his son. "Four years old. He's a smart boy."

Summer found Tim quite talkative when talking about his son.

So she chatted with him about this topic.

"Is your son in kindergarten?"

"Yes, he went to kindergarten this fall."

п

Summer was pregnant now and was interested in the child topic.

Tim had become taciturn since the divorce. Besides, Leonardo, his boss, was even more taciturn. It was not easy for Tim to have someone to talk to about his son. So he talked a lot with Summer. They chatted until Leonardo and Warren came out.

"They're back."

Summer was the first to spot them.

She opened the door for Leonardo from inside the car.

After Leonardo got into the car, he pulled on his tie. His face looked sullen.

Warren sat in the front passenger seat.

Seeing Leonardo's cold face, Summer raised her head to look at Warren.

Warren looked back and shrugged.

Warren's face looked normal. It wasn't like they had lost the lawsuit. Then what was wrong with Leonardo?

"What's wrong?" Summer whispered to him.

Leonardo shook his head and didn't say anything.

At this time, someone knocked on the car window beside Summer from outside.

She turned around and saw Adams' seemingly gentle and harmless face.

Summer frowned and understood why Leonardo's face was so sullen.

Summer lowered the car window. Before she could say anything, Adams smiled and said, "Summer, I heard you're pregnant. Congratulations." Summer said with a straight face, "Thank you."

Adams looked up at Leonardo and said slowly, "Leonardo, don't forget to invite me to your baby's full moon party."

Leonardo looked at him coldly and didn't say anything.

Summer hurriedly raised the car window and urged Tim, "Drive."

Every time she saw Adams, she felt uncomfortable. She considered Adams' hypocritical face to be more terrifying than Leonardo's angry face.

"Leonardo, what is going on between you and Adams?" Warren was the legal advisor of Tip Top Media Company. He didn't know much about public relations and online opinions of celebrities.

He heard about what had happened but didn't know what was going on.

There were no outsiders here, so he directly asked.

"Let's go back first." Leonardo didn't want to say more, so Warren didn't ask further.

When Summer returned home previously, she had seen Adams and Vicky's intimacy. It was not surprising that Adams would come to Vicky's case today.

However, seeing Adams was not enough to make Leonardo's face so sullen.

Suddenly, Summer's mind flashed. Adams was considered part of the Emersons. If Leonardo was able to put Vicky in prison, Adams could get Vicky out!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
